Good vibes only: All Washington state ferries renamed to honour the Seattle Mariners

October 14, 2022 //  by Black Press Media Staff

Mariners fever has gone to the ferries, governor’s order. 

The two key players on the Mukilteo-Clinton route were renamed after the Seattle Mariners coach and the nickname for the bullpen.

The Suquamish, the 144-car big daddy, is now ‘Skipper Scott Servais’. The 124-car Kitsap is ‘Los Bomberos.’

Gov. Jay Inslee signed a proclamation on Wednesday that the names of state ferries be changed to honour the Seattle Mariners, for as long as the team remains in the MLB playoffs.

In honor of the @Mariners, @GovInslee has directed that all 21 vessels in our fleet be temporarily renamed after players and personnel starting tomorrow 10/13 through as long as the #Mariners remain in the 2022 @MLB Postseason. #SeaUsRise https://t.co/5bIJWtuydn pic.twitter.com/cwTGsezoMY

— Washington State Ferries (@wsferries) October 12, 2022

All 21 vessels in the fleet were renamed Thursday after team players and staff.

“We are so proud of our Mariners for finally breaking our playoff drought and giving our fans the excitement of postseason baseball!” Inslee said in a Washington State Ferries news release. “This honorary name change is a way to show our appreciation and for fans to feel even closer to the team by riding Motor/Vessel Juliooooooooooo, M/V Cal ‘Big Dumper’ Raleigh, M/V Mariners ‘Good Vibes Only’ and the rest.”

Maybe the good vibes will spill over to people with long ferry waits.

On the Edmonds-Kingston route, the Spokane is now ‘Luis “La Piedra” Castillo’ and Puyallup is ‘Ty “Vive Le” France.’

Vive le Mariners.

The Mariners dropped their first two American League Division Series games to the Houston Astros. Game 3 in the best-of-five match-up goes Saturday, Oct. 15 at 1 p.m.
